Wings Over Concrete: Urban Birds' Interlaced Flight Through City Streets [TOP100]
"Wings Over Concrete" is a project about the birds flying above us in busy cities are like performers in a unique dance that often goes unnoticed. While we might not always pay attention, these birds play a vital role in maintaining the balance between urban life and nature. Watching them soar around tall buildings creates a beautiful blend of nature and the man-made world.
In the hustle and bustle of cities, birds bring color and life to the streets and buildings. Wings Over Concrete explores how birds adapt to city life and add beauty to urban environments. City streets aren’t just for people—they’ve become pathways for a variety of birds. Doves glide gracefully, gulls weave through crowds, and pigeons perform elegant aerial moves, all while adjusting to the challenges of living among concrete and steel. Their ability to thrive in cityscapes is truly remarkable.

This image is part of my project 'Wings over Concrete,' a unique storytelling approach using bird patterns captured through photography. A red-tailed hawk soars with precision, its flight path tracing a perfect arc across the sky. The rolling terrain below serves as a quiet stage for the hawk’s masterful movement, blending power and elegance in its pursuit. This moment captures the hawk’s innate connection to the land, its curved trajectory embodying the balance between predator and prey, earth and sky—a true symbol of nature’s artistry in motion. Captured at the very start of its flight, the red-tailed hawk soars with controlled strength, its wings carving through the open sky with confidence. This moment of takeoff is a powerful reminder of the hawk’s mastery of both land and air.

Music is a hideaway many find solace in. A way of putting words, rhythms, melodies to innermost emotions and desires when one lacks the ability to. One of the most powerful, unifying forms of art, expanding human consciousness far beyond our expectations.
I have searched 1000 times how to take the building we see through the window. No good angles outside. Then, while visiting the Tate, I saw this man talking on the phone, right in front of the window and the building was revealed in front of me. Everything was perfect !I have searched 1000 times how to take the building we see through the window. No good angles outside.

I favored the black and white treatment because the strong contrast between the exterior and the interior gave the scene an atmosphere of a novel or noir!

– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
